THE OLD HOTEL-DIEU
Founded in the th century under the decision of Louis VI le Gros, Earl of Dreux, the Hotel-Dieu was a place to treat the sick until the th century. This building consists of a chapel reconstructed from the th century. It is complemented by a campanile built in 1999, whose carillon gently delude the city at some hours of the day. There is also a "Tour of Found Children" used for the reception of abandoned children from 1812 to 1837. Today, the former Hôtel-Dieu is used to host temporary exhibitions and presents the «Valley Coeur» project to expand its city centre, energize and reorganize the city. Since 2008, the old Hotel-Dieu is part of the Historical Monuments Inventory.
